We Need You to Lead Us — Seth Godin

My First Seth Godin book was Purple Cow. This was an eye opener for a non marketing guy. Tribes is a different story where you get a sequence of small bites about leadership and how to have people follow you. It looks like everyone can be a leader by just making the jump. It lacks a bit of depth and in essence it say: “Just do it and see what happens”…

On the other hand it tries to show that making a tribe van be very valuable if you make the right product.

The iPad

Ok, agreed,… the iPad is ‘just’ a big iPhone and did not have many surprises. Maybe only the price as $499,- is half of what was expected. If I look at the couch usage of my iPhone, this one will be much better for viewing mail, reading rss feeds and looking at Ted video casts.

No new iPhone OS was introduced today. Looking at the iPad OS, it seems a hybrid between iPhone and OS-X as desktop seems included. On the other hand a number of new UI features seem present (dropdown menulists).
